In early 2009, the Government gave permission to the RAAS Group, the Khanh Hoa provincial People’s Committee, and the Miss World Organization to hold the pageant in Nha Trang City.
However, in October last year, the RAAS Group asked the Government to move the event to the Mekong Delta province of Tien Giang’s My Tho City, claiming that sponsors hadn’t supplied the group with enough provisions to hold the final night in Nha Trang City.
On December 29, Tien Giang Province authorities asked the Government for permission to host the contest.
